How To
Want to share the love?
Mailing a postcard is one of the simplest, kindest things you can do this week. Here's how to send one in five easy steps — no envelope required.
Step 01
Pick your postcard.
Grab one from your favourite Posted spot, or any of the cards we leave on tables and bedsides. Pick the one that made you smile.
Step 02
Write a little something.
Use the right side for the address, the left for your message. Don't overthink it — even three sentences make someone's week.
Step 03
Address it clearly.
Recipient name, street address, city, state, and ZIP. Print neatly so the post office can read it. Add your return address in the top-left corner.
Step 04
Add a stamp.
In the U.S., postcards need a Postcard Stamp ($0.56) for domestic mail or a Global Forever Stamp ($1.65) for international. Stick it in the top-right corner.
Step 05
Drop it in the mail.
Any blue USPS box, the slot at your post office, or your home mailbox with the flag up. That's it — your postcard is on its way.
